Passangers

In 2003 an airline in United State lost more than half, on average, of the foreign passengers they had previously served each year. Researchers have alleged that this extreme drop resulted from a rise in price of tickets for international lines from $60 to $90 per 1,000 miles.
Which of the following, if feasible, offers the best prospects for alleviating the problem of the drop in passengers as the researchers assessed it?

.Cooperating with other airlines to provide more international lines.
.Allowing foreign passengers to pay the same as the previous international line
.Reemphasizing the goals and mission of the airline as serving both domestic passengers and foreign passengers
.Increasing the financial resources of the airline by raising the ticket price for domestic passengers
.Offering superior VIP service for foreign passengers.

The more you suffer before the test, the less you will do so in the test! :)

Hi,
It clearly mentions increase in prices is the reason for the drop in the number of foreign passengers. So, if the prices are back to normal, those passengers would be using airlines again.

Hence, B
Cheers!

Its a rip off of an OG 10 Question . To strengthen,weaken and offer solutions , we are advised to propose an answer that responds to the logic of the CR
